Creamy Cilantro Lime Dressing

It is officially Spring, at least according to my calender. The hail and ice that fell over the past 2 days makes it feel more like Winter! Spring means something different to everyone. To me, it means Green {and allergies, and thunderstorms, tornadoes}. The green grass, deciduous trees, and leafy herbs start popping up all over. What do you do with all of those leafy herbs? You use them silly…..

You grab a bunch of fresh cilantro and turn it into this delicious, and versatile Creamy Cilantro Lime Dressing and Dipping Sauce. This is the same dressing that I have used in the past on my Southwest Chicken Salad for Summer…..

{yes, I forgot the mayo in that batch, and it was still delicious} and as a dipping sauce for Alaskan Seafood Crab Legs {recipe coming soon}…..

and it couldn’t be easier to make! Place the cilantro, lime juice, garlic, mayonnaise, olive oil, vinegar and honey in the bowl of a food processor…..

and pulse to combine…..

See how simple that was? Tangy, bright and fresh flavors that remind me of Spring…..even when it looks like this outside…..

I do have to admit, it is pretty cool to look at especially on the fence…..

Now that is something that you do not see everyday…..thankfully!!

So let’s just curl up inside with a hot drink, dream about warmer weather, and make a batch of Creamy Cilantro Lime Dressing to remind us of the green days ahead…..eventually. 😉

I’m looking forward to my local farmer’s market starting up next month! I don’t think I can wait that long. And is it wrong that I want to grab that jar and drink that dressing straight up? It looks that good! Pinned.

Lisa! I love lime, I love cilantro, and I love creaminess. I guess I will have to give your dressing a try!!! Since it’s looks so delicious, I’d like to invite you to link it up at our SHARE IT party: http://www.finecraftguild.com/share-it-sunday-linky-party/ That would be terrific! ~ Rose

While I am not a fan of cilantro my husband is and I would be willing to try it as a dressing. Pinned, shared, and followed you here from the Weekend Retreat party. Would love for you to share on Real Food Fridays.
